Swedish Minister of Industry and Innovation, Mikael Damberg, talks about Ekkono and Alfa Laval's collaboration during his keynote at Sveriges Innovationsriksdag (SIR18). Transcript (translated from Swedish): "If we're good on enterprises, and good on startups, then we have a cooperative benefit in Sweden, if we can work it out. I actually met some right here earlier today – Alfa Laval and Ekkono. Exciting cooperation, that was basically born at this meeting [last year's SIR, that was mentioned earlier in the speech], and now they already have a business relationship that's starting to bear fruit for both parties. A tremendously interesting success journey. I get inspired!"
